Hi Andrea! Hope your week is going great! I grew up down in Miami with a pea gravel driveway, and I loved it. It was for the people who couldn't afford a concrete driveway. We also had terrazzo floors, which are floors with bits of stone in them. They were also the less expensive flooring back then, but now it's an upscale thing to put in, and they have quite extravagant designs.

Pea gravel is charming, rather rustic, and just looks fabulous. I know you'll love it!

Love the photos...but I can only imagine what YOUR ideas will be like. :)I've always loved pea gravel and how it transforms an ordinary setting into something fabulous. It works with every style, too, which I love.New projects are always exciting...for me, it's like opening a new gift. Looking forward to seeing you work your magic--again! :)Hope you're enjoying your summer, Andrea. xo

I know what you mean, there is something about them! I had always dreamt of a gravel drive, and when we moved home two years ago, i was thrilled to find it had a gravel carriage drive! You do need to keep it topped up though else the weeds start to encroach (although easily pulled up!)and certainly not a good enough reason not to have one - enjoy!!!!

I'm a real fan of pea gravel as well! I love little paths made of it and keep wanting to use it outside our basement sliders, making a little patio just off the deck. I decided one day that I'd pick up a few bags and bring them home to get the project started - are you kidding? Those little bags weigh a ton! I decided to leave the bags where they were and save up to have the entire load delivered. Then I can make a million wheelbarrow trips to the backyard LOL! Hope you get your's done! Hugs,Leena

When I first saw this post I just had to laugh. You see I've been spending some time on Pintrest today looking for inspiration on just this subject. I currently have pea gravel paths in my flower garden which I love, love, love. The dog loves it too! I'm pretty sure this will be my next project once the weather isn't so hot!

Hi Andrea: I really love pea gravel and have it in our garden. The trees drop leaves on it, but it is not too bad to rake up if you use a tiny plastic rake..Your's will be beautiful..Happy Wednesday..Judy

That is going to look fabulous in your yard, Andrea!! I'm jealous! lol! The husband won't have anything to do with pea gravel. Says it "shifts around too much". Whateverrrrr.....! lol! But I truly do love the look, feel, and sound, too! Have fun with your project! We're all waiting for the big reveal! :)

I have seen this used in gardens. I LOVE the idea.We don't have a patio of any kind right now.I have been doing some research on this and may do that eventually too.I love the look.And it is much cheaper than most methods.xxAnne

...I hope you get your gravel drive soon:-) I got mine last year and LOVE my tyres crunching up it at the end of a long day... weeding has been prolific with the constant deluge of rain in UK this summer! I'm dreaming of a porch, with nice old chairs where I'll watch the sun go down with a chilled glass of wine:-)x

Hello from your newest follower! I love your pea gravel idea. I've been wanting to make paths with that in my garden with a white picket fence. Of course, I still need to put up the white picket fence! (But first thing's first!)

I've been following for awhile (found you in a magazine -- Romantic Homes maybe?) but now that I have a blog I can do a better job at keeping up! If you get a chance, stop by and say hello!
